Childhood Memories

"Oh my gosh! Do you have the flowers?!" I wail at Christina.

"Yeah yeah, chill! They're in my car, the person at the counter took his precious time getting them out. Almost had me go in there myself to grab them." Christina explains with a frown.

"Okay, good!" I breathe.

"Is Madison and the rest of the girls in the dressing room?" She wonders.

"Yeah. Madison's getting her hair done." I reply and then leave her to go into the reception area.

The food is being pulled out and set properly. Chefs run around outside while Madison's mom instruct them to do certain things.

"Hey darling!" Mrs. Marilyn greeted.

"Hi. Is everything ready out here?" I wonder.

"Yup, just a few finishing touches and then were done here."

"Great!" I smile then make my way back inside.

"Hey!" A person says behind me, giving me a hug.

Who I thought was Hunter was actually Carson.

"Um hey! I didn't know you were coming this early!"

He laughed, "Bailey asked me to come and hang out for awhile."

"Ohh, makes sense." I grin.

"Yeah, so is Madds like bridezilla or is she tame?" He whispers jokingly.

I giggle, matching his volume, "yeah, she's pretty good."

He breathes in a dramatic gulp of air, "phew! Good."

I roll my eyes, "whatever."

We walk down the hallway of the church and we just laugh about funny wedding things going on.

"You know, that dress is pretty on you."  Carson exclaims softly.

I look down at what I'm wearing, a lace red dress with a cross straps in the back. My shoes are burlap heels with a rose on the side front. My hair are in soft curls and pinned up into a bun, some strands of hair are left hanging out around my face. The girls and I went to the nail salon today to get our nails and toes done in a French manicure. My makeup is pretty light, I prefer it that way anyways, just some concealer, silver eyeshadow, mascara, and a touch of blush.

Honestly, I've never felt prettier, for Carson to notice made me feel gorgeous.

"Oh - um, thank you."  I blush.

"Hey Mae!" I hear a voice behind me, I turn around and see Hunter.

And even larger grin spreads on my face and I rush towards him. He hugs me tightly, but with a peak, I see Carson's smile slowly fade away as he sees me get swarmed by my boyfriend.

"I do." Madison proudly states, clinging onto Baileys hands.

"And do you, Bailey Jen Robert, take Madison Ellie Marilyn to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do." Bailey smiles awkwardly.
